List of hidden cheats and/or codes. Throughout the Street Fighter series, there are hidden secrets that can only be found via a button combination or a secret unlocking method.

Contents

The following is for the PC Engine CD-ROM² System version titled Fighting Street.

Easy Special Moves, Stage Select and 7 Credits: The player needs to place in the high scores and enter .SD as their initials. Then at the title screen, hold Left, Button I and Button II and press Select. The code will work if 7 credits are displayed at the title screen. An stage select menu appears upon starting the game which includes the ending, and Special Moves can be performed easily by holding Forward (for Hadoken), Down/Forward (for Shoryuken) and Back (for Tatsumaki Senpukyaku) and pressing Select.

Bonus Ending Sequence: This version has an additional scene where Ryu/Ken leave in the airport upon completion of the game. Finishing the game four times in a row displays Ryu/Ken arriving at their destination where they are received by a bunch of cameramen. Using the code above and seeing the ending four times results in this as well.

Display Character and Credits Usage (Arcade Street Fighter II: The World Warrior and Street Fighter II': Champion Edition only): This code is entered during a fight following the attract sequence (mostly Blanka vs Guile in SFII and M. Bison vs Sagat in Champion Edition). The player have to press Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, MP, LP on the 2P side to display a row of numbers. The top numbers are for number of coins inserted in the machine, the bottom numbers display the number of times each fighter has been selected in the game.

Button Configuration Screen (16-bit SFII): Before the first match in Arcade Mode, the player can hold down the Select button to open the button configuration screen to make last minute changes. Hold Start if playing the Genesis versions. From SFII Turbo and onwards, it can be done before any match. In any game, it can be done before any match in any game mode, except the original SFII's Arcade Mode, which only works after character selection.

Remove Vitality Gauge Display (SNES SFII only): Enter Option Mode and press Start to return to the attract sequence, repeat 27 times. Then select Game Start or V.S. Battle. The title music will continue playing and the vitality gauges and sound will disappear from the game. The game locks up after one round is completed, the player has to reset the game.

Enter Championship Mode (SNES SFII only): At the Capcom symbol, press Down, R, Up, L, Y, and B in order. If done correctly, a sound will be heard to confirm to correct entry. This will give the title screen and every fighter a different color scheme. For the code to work, the player needs to hit reset on the console, however. Since hitting reset in the Virtual Console is the same as hitting the Power button, this doesn't work on the Wii Virtual Console release.

View Each Character Profile (SNES only): When Ryu's (or any character's) profile is displayed on the screen, hold both L and R buttons on controller 2. When it disappears, the profile of the next character will be displayed. Keep holding to continue displaying profiles.

Enter the code at the Capcom logo screen to disable Special Moves for a single player game.

Enter the code as the SFII logo is spinning (on controller 2) to enable more speed settings for Turbo mode.

Enter the code at the Handicap and Stage Select screen (on controller 2) to enter the Special Moves screen were players can enable and disable any (or all) Special Moves they want. The player can then enter this screen by pressing Start on controller 2 at any point.

Enter the code at the Capcom screen to disable normal Punch and Kicks in a single player game. Only throws and Special Moves are available to the player..

Enter the code as the building in the opening sequence is fading out to enable a total of five speed settings for Champion Edition.

Enter the code at the first Group Battle screen (on controller 2) to enable the same character to be selected twice.

When the game is completed on difficulty level 8, a picture of Ryu (Champion Mode) or Chun-Li (Hyper Mode) appears at the end of the credits. Input the code to change their outfit color. If entered three times, they change to the color of the other mode (Ryu changes to Hyper Fighting colors, Chun-Li to Champion Edition colors).

Character Colors (Super Street Fighter II): Each button, including the Start button, selects a different outfit color. There is also an eighth color chosen by holding down any attack button for a few seconds, except the Start button. In Hyper Street Fighter II, it is possible to select the eighth color by holding the Start button. In Super Street Fighter II Turbo Revival (GBA), Akuma and Shin Akuma were given a new set colors based on these (six were taken from their Street Fighter Alpha 3 counterparts in addition to new ones).

Choose the same character a total of eight times (SNES and Genesis SSFII): Start the Group Battle mode and on controller 2 press A, B, A, B, A, B, B, A. Players can now select the same character a total of 8 times. In the SNES version, press L, R, L, R, L, R, R, L on controller 2.

Now head to the character select screen, highlight Ryu, press Start and then hit all 3 Kick buttons simultaneously. Pressing all 3 Kick buttons and a Punch button selects Shin Akuma's alternate color.

Unlock Ten Akuma (Dreamcast Super Turbo): Enter the Secret Option menu. Change the switches located 8th and 9th column of the 3rd row to 1. Head to the character select screen and highlight Ryu. Press Start and the simultaneously press MP+MK+HP+HK. Press MP+HP and all 3 Kick buttons selects Ten Akuma's alternate color.

Play on bonus stages in VS modes (Dreamcast Super Turbo): the random select question marks and the bonus stages must be enabled for this to work. After selecting characters the person who selects the stage must highlight one of the question marks and hold start while selecting the question mark. The stage will still be random but there is a possibility of the fight taking place on a bonus stage.

Unlock M. Bison (Street Fighter Alpha): Hold Start at the character select screen and highlight the Random Select box. Press Left, Left, Down, Down, Left, Down, Down + PP (red) or KK (black).

The whole code doesn't have to be re-entered. In the Saturn version, M. Bison must be defeated here to unlock the Team Mode on the mode menu. In the Playstaion version, clearing the game on difficulty level 5 or higher will be enough, even if Akuma is killed the easy way (see below).

Highlight Timer and press Start 3 times, move to Event and press MK twice, then Screen Mode and press HK 3 times, move to Bonus Game and press Start, then finally Damage and hit LK 4 times.

Fight Akuma (Second Impact): Don't lose a single round and earn 1/2/3/4 Perfects (for 1/3/5/7 rounds respectively). It is possible to face Shin Akuma after defeating Akuma as well. For this, add one more perfect to the number normally needed to fight Akuma (so 3 perfects for 3 round matches instead of 2) and don't get more than 3 cheap wins. Then, while facing Akuma, finish him on any round with a Super Art. The player must avoid a Time Over or Judgement win in the process. Shin Akuma must be defeated before the player can play as him in Double Impact (see above).
